Our main idea is to act out a tea party scene in 2 different locations, to emphasise the social differences between each location. The first will be downhill on the High Street and the second will be uphill by the Cathedral/Castle. Each tea party will be altered slightly, in keeping with the social class our group expect to see in that location.
However, to emphasise the historical aspect of this performance we will reverse the typical social classes of each area, by having a historical tea party downhill and a modern tea party uphill with character and costume changes to reflect the social classes.
Hopefully, this idea will make the audience really take in what is around them, rather than letting it pass them by. They will not have looked at Lincoln in this way before. Just as Pearson says: ‘… recent practices have rendered familiar places unfamiliar or taken unfamiliar locations to the audience (2010, p.40).
